Five Ghost Towns in South Dakota that are some of the most popular by site and background story - South Dakota is a fascinating state. Thanks for watching!
The quality of your videos is amazing. The narration. The editing. It usually takes years to get to this level. There must be a story behind this channel :) well done.
Thank you for the compliment - I shifted from different niche. A year ago I put out the Iowa video and left after 1-3 video posts because I wasn't sure if people wanted this content. Came back 12 months and found there was a little YT community conversing about the subject. I came back to cover the subject in more detail after talking with several friends of mine who have a very popular following on social media surrounding both Ghost Towns AND Abandoned Places. They encouraged me to go back - Here's the thing (and thank you for asking- means alot) this subject will never go away. There are endless amounts of video and podcast footage on it. I'm giving BOTH because I want to give to both platform deliveries. I know the podcast and the videos can always improve - and I'll strive for that.. better mics, better shots, showing maps, improving quality yadda yadda - BUT the absolute most important part of this channel are people conversing about stories and history. Criticism and sassy remarks are whatever, but when a person comes along, adds to the story or brings up either NEW details and facts OR corrective facts (I'm not a know it all...we learn together) it makes this whole CZcams venture worth it!
Also...I will start adding more video in my podcast. 😊 Need a better mic and better background besides my dining room table!! 🤣 Thanks for the support!
Trivia: Keystone SD is half a mile from where Etta was, and Carrie Ingalls (sister of Little House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder) lived in Keystone for quite a while, and her blind sister Mary also lived with her sister in Keystone as an adult.
My wife officially told me just the other day that we have to make a few Laura Ingalls stops on some of our trips. I love the Keystone area - we did the train last year from Hill City (where we stayed - to Keystone) - we'll make a return trip and see if I can get some more footage of the area. Love your trivia btw!
Understandable - You can surely feel that way the further west you travel...I will say, some of those tiny Dakota towns have some of the best people though 😉

This short but informative video deserves a thumbs up
Thanks dmax!
Good video, but no list of SD ghost towns is complete without Capa!
I hear you brother! I need to get up there and do an individual one. I liked your video on it - nice work.
Good stuff Dan.
Thanks Griddle Guy - left out some good ones. I'll have to do a follow-up video. 😉
I thought ALL towns in the Dakotas were ghost towns.

Some small towns have great civic pride. Revillo is one. It's on the east side of the state.
The people there take great pride in their community.
